I wasnt aware that most companies delivering text message alerts actually used an SMS gateway to do so. Isnt it much easier for them to simply set it up in email format (2125551212@yourcarrier.com) and send it that way? The message still arrives as a text message to the end user, and Verizon cant charge extra for it.
You can't get as much information into the txt message if you use the @vtext.com, because it shows the from: to: and subject: fields.
What if you leave them blank? Keep in mind an SMS can only have between 140 and 160 (roughly) characters, so its not like people are receiving lengthy messages anyway.
